Keeping Food at Home

In 1865 Cork was threatened with a
fsmine owing to the scarcity of provi-
sions. The mayor of the city issued a
proclamation giving notice that if any
food should be shipped in the city OF
harbor for expectation he would cause
it to be unladen and sold in the public
market. His prompt and sensible &C
ton averted the famine. Had a similar
course been adopted in 1847 thousands
of Irish lives might have been saved,
for it is matter Of history that while
the people were dying of hunger, and
American beney olence trying to save
them by sending from a distance OF two
thousand miles shipl0ads Of flour and
provisions, Ireland was exporting i'm
mense quantities Of beef, butter, eggs,
and vegetables to the English markets
j to raise money to meet the infamous
rent demands Of the land thieves.

UNCLE TOMMY sTERETT.

The Husband of Five Wives and Father
of Twenty-Five Children.
One of the most familiar characters
about Hamilton, and one whom every body
knows, is Uncle Tommy Sterett, writes q
Hamilton, O., correspondent of the Cincin'

Venice, on the Miami. His first work was
for Isaac Anderson, with whom he lived as
a farm hand, receiving three dollars q
month for the first year.
Mr.. Sterett has outlived four wives, and
now lives in happiness with his fifth. He
first married Mary Wells, of Kentucky, the
couple starting in life together in log
cabin twelve feet square with dirt floor
and chimney made of mud and sticks.
The wife weaved and purchased Hour,
while the husband mauled rails in ex
change for meat. By his first wife Mr..
Sterett was the father of eighteen chill
dren.
Mr.. Steretts second wife was Isabel
Brosier, by whom he had one child. The
old gentleman said he could not remember
the dates when he married his different
wives, as his memory was poor, and he
couldn't recollect these little things"
After living four or five years Isabel died,
and Mrs. Martha Nichols took her place.
This was along about 1852, and five children
resulted from this union.
Mrs. Robert Pierce became the fourth

These children have grown up, married
and emigrated, and many of them are liv.

parent.
Mr. Sterett lived in Hamilton in 1915
when, as he says, it was common sight
to see Indians, bears, panthers, deer, wild
turkeys, foxes and wolves in the roads
and prowling about the town. He first
voted for Andrew jackson for President
When the war broke out five, of his own
sons and four step-sons went to the
front. and served until they became veter

boys thought there were enough out of one

did the fighting. The farthest he was evel

to see his boys during the war.

 At this point there was great ap- plause and I saw Mrs. Fernfield Hos kins bowto her audience. The peo- pie crowded around her and congratu- lated her on the discourse. My two young ladies pushed up to the front and heard Florrie say:

 Mrs. Fernfield Hoskins was touched by this sincere tribute from one so young and so beautiful, and she re- marked to the chairman that one of the features that made the present age so much superior to the past was the interest young and fashionable people took in the great of literature. -LuEe Sharp, ip Detroit Free Press.

POISONED ARROWS,
How They Were Made by the Indians of
 Former Generation.

had often heard of the poisoned ar rows, and determined to ask the old h. dian arrow-maker about them and how they were made and impregnated with the deadly poison which they were sup posed to contain. He looked at me for a full minute and then said:
 First we take bloated yellow rat tlesnake in August, when he is most poisonous, and tie him with forked stick to a stake; then we tease him till he is in a great rage. This is done by passing switch over his body from his head to his tail. When he threshes the ground with his body and his eyes grow bright and sparkle like diamonds we kill deer, antelope or some other small animal and, tearing out the liver, throw it to the snake while it is warm and the blood still coursing through it. The reptile will strike it again and again and pretty soon it will begin to turn black. When he tires the snaks is leased again and he is induced to sink his fangs into the soft flesh until dll Ju6 pOlSOu IS cAbl dCbSu 1IOul ulIu and the liver is reeking with it. He is then killed and the liver lifted with a sharp pole, for so dangerous is it no one dare touch it. The liver is let lay for about an hour, when it will be al most jet black and emit a sour smell. Arrows are then brought and their iron heads pushed into the liver up to the shaft. They are left sticking there for about an hour and a half, when they are withdrawn and dried in the sun. A thin, glistening, yellow scum adheres to the arrow and if it but so much as touches raw flesh it is certain to poison it to death"
 asked if Indians still used poisoned arrows. No he replied, mo man, Indian or white man, for years past, has been shot with these arrows and they are no longer made. "-Omahq Re- THbkican.
